Oppenauer Oxidation
Hey everyone... Been ages I guess. Some of you may remember me. Wondering if anyone has performed an Oppenauer Oxidation, and if so, what form of the
procedure was found to be most appealing? What catalyst, amounts/%'s worked for a good reaction, etc? Could you describe the setup and process?
Thanks
